I always enjoy my regular visits to the Sakala Resort. The rooms are spacious and the beach club is a great place to relax and unwind after a long day exploring the island. I also love going for a swim in the huge pool to cool down (the swim-up bar is really cool), and the food and drinks menu is substantial and of high quality. But most of all, the hotel staff are all so kind and helpful. In particular, I have had the pleasure of dealing with Yani in the guest relations team. She always greets the hotel guests with her warmth and friendliness , promptly resolves any questions or minor issues i have during my stays, and has some great food and activity recommendations to offer - no request is too big or small for her.

I loved everything about this resort!! From the super friendly and accommodating staff to the marvelous breakfast I enjoyed every morning. The staff at breakfast make it their business to learn your name. They greet you with such joy! The food was a smorgasbord of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Everything was delicious. We didn’t have an itinerary but the staff connected us with everything we wanted to do. I love this place and you will too!

A 5-Star Resort with a 6-Star Heart: The Sakala Resort Nusa Dua, Bali My recent stay at The Sakala Resort Nusa Dua was nothing short of extraordinary. This 5-star resort exceeded my expectations in every way, but it was the staff's warmth and genuine hospitality that truly made our stay unforgettable. Our lower-ground unit was immaculately clean and well-maintained, with every detail carefully considered. But it was the resort's facilities that truly shone: - Multiple pools to choose from, each with its own unique character - A stunning beach club with direct access to the beach and a range of water sports - Exceptional dining at the resort's restaurant, with a menu that catered to every taste and craving - A state-of-the-art gym that was fully equipped and immaculately maintained - A serene wellness spa that offered blissful treatments and a tranquil atmosphere But what truly set The Sakala Resort apart was its staff. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family – with warmth, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm. They went above and beyond to make our stay special, even surprising us with a romantic room decoration and celebration after a surprise engagement. If you're looking for a resort that truly embodies the spirit of Bali, look no further than The Sakala Resort. This is more than a 5-star resort – it's a home away from home, where every guest is treated like royalty. I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone visiting Bali. Rating: 6/5 stars (yes, it's that good!)

Beware of the cancellation policy prior to booking. We made a booking at this hotel for July 2025 and believe that the promise of a private beachfront hotel are quite exaggerated with only a small sectioned off area to fit that criteria. We asked for a refund and were told no, as per their booking policy. I have since asked twice for an explanation as to why they cannot refund and have not received a response. Had I booked with a secondary site such as booking.com etc... the price was fully refundable, but when booking direct, you are not entitled. Be very, very careful and vigilant when booking direct. Your money is much safer through a secondary site.

We had a two-night stay at this hotel, and overall it was quite enjoyable. The hotel has a stunning lobby and an amazing outdoor pool with a poolside bar where you can order drinks and food while relaxing in the pool. However, there's room for improvement in the bar menu, as the cocktail options were limited, and the bartenders, although friendly, could benefit from expanding their drink-making knowledge. The room was clean, and we loved its beautiful design. Breakfast was excellent, with many options to choose from. The restaurant's layout was a bit inconvenient, as different food sections were spread far apart, requiring multiple trips back and forth. Consolidating the food into one area would greatly improve the dining experience. Regarding location, being right by the beach was a plus, but the hotel is rather far from the city, making it a bit inconvenient for those looking to enjoy the nightlife. Despite this, I would still recommend this hotel, as our overall experience was pleasant and enjoyable.

We are very happy repeat guests. Sol charms with beautiful gardens, traditional architecture and tranquil atmosphere. Lovely deep pool and direct access to the beach. It has all the expected features of a hotel at this level with modern large rooms, airy open spaces and everything spotlessly clean. Its biggest asset is always the friendly, helpful staff. The addition of young trainees has only added to the pleasure of being greeted with gentle smiles and welcomes

MY wife and I have just returned from from a 5 night stay at Sol by Melia and I can't recommend it enough! It was absolutely sensational. The hotel is small compared to some of the neighbouring hotels, but has everything you need. We had the all inclusive option and found it to be great. Food was always nice, consistent with some fantastic dishes. We were lucky to have a poolside room and it was huge, clean, great air conditioning, great amenities and the bed was comfy. Bar fridge was also topped up daily and complimentary as we had the all inclusive. Beach out the front was great and clean. All the staff were absolutely incredible. So friendly, happy and nothing was ever a problem. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely return. It's so peaceful and relaxing. I'd also recommend taking the all inclusive option

Paul Jackson

Spent 2 great weeks at Sol by Melia, all staff were very pleasant and helpful. Advise beach shoes for going into sea but well worth it as went into sea most days. Luckily not to busy so no issue with sunbeds and pool was like getting into a warm bath. Food at buffet although good could be a bit hit or miss, great advantage though was the Al a carte option in The Kitchen restuarant which you can use every day Lunch or Dinner. Would recommend this Hotel without hesitation.

Oskar Urzelai

So So So good! Room was nice.. Pool water was nice and clean. Service was excellent everywhere on property. Not much else to say. Highly recommend the all inclusive!! The all inclusive is literally ALL-INCLUSIVE! What is expected from Sol&Meliá, almost a 10.

Kevin Parry

My wife and I stayed here 20/1-24/1 and the customer service was amazing. Sadly my wife was ill for 2 of the days and the staff were incredible. They provided medical support, food and drink to help her back to full health, and constantly asked on her progress as I walked around the hotel. The hotel is fantastic with great food, and they provided the option of upgrading to all inclusive on a daily basis, which was very useful if you opted to dine in for lunch and dinner. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of staying.

Sharon Wells

Deluxe Garden Villa was lovely and quiet. Housekeeping and reception staff amazing. They did our laundry beautifully, and cookies before bed. Buffet breakfast was amazing so much choice and good coffee and juices, breads galore and even fondue fountain for the kids. The only thing was service at the main restaurants was very slow and meals are small portion sizes. Pools were beautiful and pool bar with huge variety of cocktails. At the resort Day Spa we enjoyed a relaxing massage.

Clare Wicks

Fantastic Holiday hotel. The location is perfect with the beach right out front and garlic lane shopping from the other side. There are two pools one great for the family, the other has a swim up bar and daybeds looking across to the beach. The grounds are well maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The Staff are super helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet is awesome with a range of treats from around the globe . What I like most about Legian Beach Hotel is it manages to create a relaxed Bali holiday vibe without sacrificing any service. I stayed in the Garden Villa with lots of surprise extras included .

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly great place to be! A really great place to be!!! Thank you all for being so amazing — always smiling and so kind to us! We enjoyed our vacation to the fullest. A special thank you to Mr. Marutha and Mrs. Irma for arranging everything so perfectly for us. Your hospitality made our stay unforgettable. We hope to come back soon!

We have stayed all over Bali, and this is by far the most overpriced, overhyped hotel we have seen. If you are interested in Balinese culture, nature and find dining don’t stay here. It’s tacky. They charged us $13 for two crappy popsicle by the pool, and the buffet is one of the most expensive I have seen in all of Bali (and we’ve been staying at NICE places). They make you leave a deposit for towels, because this is the kind of place that attracts tourists who would steal towels. This place attracts parents who day drink and look exhausted and middle aged couples. It’s not a fancy place. Definitely not 5 star.

Kate Fisher

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. The rooms in the main building are a little tired and could use an update but they were spotlessly clean and had sufficient amenities. Positives - as always, the staff in Bali make any venue a success. Every person we met went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. The hotel is large and set in beautifully manicured gardens. The location is fantastic. We were here in a large group to celebrate a friend’s milestone birthday - the hotel staff helped to prepare a party at the beachside restaurant which was amazing. Breakfast buffet also a big hit. Negatives - the rooms are a little tired and the prices for additional water in our room and coffee at breakfast were on the high side.

David Wilson

This was a great resort to visit. Its an older resort built in traditional Balinese style with carved doors and Balinese inspired rooms. While being older the staff are exceptional and service was amazing. We had an all inclusive package which is well and truly worth it. Chika the main pool bar tender is amazing. Highly recommend this resort. Sadly they have closed their kids club. Otherwise I have nothing negative I could say.

The Bali Tropic resort is an older resort in the traditional Balinese style. Personally I appreciated the Balinese design and liked this aspect but they could probably make a few small updates to give it a fresher look. However I do NOT recommend booking a deluxe room. These are all in one small building tucked into the back of the resort with half looking directly into the back of another building. The majority of the resort is the deluxe bungalows which are nice and spacious. I choose to upgrade after seeing the deluxe room and I suggest the same for others. The staff are all extremely friendly and you can see they try hard to make you enjoy your stay. The general demographic was 90% Europeans aged in their 50-70s on the all-inclusive package. This meant that there was a lot of people drinking at the pool bar and smoking around the pool all day which wasn’t ideal for our young family. Suggestion for improvement- if you want to be family friendly then there must be a non smoking area by the pool. Lastly the food was very average. We ate at the restaurant and ordered room service and found it all very underwhelming. Breakfast buffet is fine but for anything more I would eat elsewhere.

Chris Marriott

This a 3 star hotel at best. The best thing about it is the lovely staff, they are to be commended, could not fault them. It’s not clean and very tired. The pool needs a good clean as well. The way they serve the all inclusive beer is ridiculous and I did put a bit of a complaint but it fell on deaf ears. If I hadn’t done all inclusive at 2 other hotels, I wouldn’t have anything to compare it with but for the same price, this one comes in at the bottom of the three so far, won’t be going back. I hate doing negative reviews but couldn’t let this one go, sorry 😞

Mia McDonald

Our stay at the Bali Tropical resort and spa was absolutely amazing. Excellent value for money with the all inclusive package, food was amazing and good quality and the staff were very helpful in regard to me having allergies. The facilities were clean and very well maintained and the daily activities they run were amazing and also included with the price of all inclusive, I went on a snorkeling tour on a boat all for free! I would recommend going to this resort and hope to return soon. Also special mention to Dicka he was amazing very kind, friendly and helpful

Susan Lee

Love the sculpture , carving, architecture and landscape Staffs are always smiling and all are very helpful. (Receptionist Tia is knowledgeable, clear and beer helpful. ) Security guard always alert to sure guests can cross the road safely Less plastic... Provide guests with tumbler and water fountain instead of bottled water. Love that. Room Kettle is very clean Room Hair dryer is clean and strong (1600W) Room aircon ... Some may consider not cool enough.. we closed the bathroom divider to make it cooler Balcony sofa is surprisingly clean 3 restaurants- breakfast is great. Restaurants ambience and comfort is good. All open air. Service is excellent. Food wise.. Nice presentation. Taste wise 3.5 or 4 star. Still enjoyable. Suggestions - towels on rack... No need to wash daily - reduce odour from drain or cover it ( we covered it and it's a lot better). - smoke free area at pool - have a flyer in the room to briefly introduce the facility and surrounding - toilet flush... can be stronger

Lois Stevenson

The best place I have ever stayed in. The staff were amazing, so friendly. Rooms were superb and food fabulous. Plenty of restaurants and choice. Lots of sports activities available and evening trips. The best holiday I have ever had.

I really wanted to give this hotel a higher rating, but after some thought, this is the best I can do. My family opted for the all-inclusive package and tried to experience everything the resort had to offer. The kids loved the Kids Club—no complaints there. My wife and I made use of the sporting facilities, including the squash courts (which are air-conditioned but have a deteriorating floor), tennis courts, and bikes for rides along the beach path. However, the entire resort feels quite outdated, nowhere near a five-star standard. They are planning renovations soon, so I would suggest waiting to book until after those are complete. We’ve visited Bali before and know how to be cautious with the water, but despite being careful, both my wife and I got Bali belly at different times. After considering all the factors, we believe it came from the drinks, which was quite frustrating. There’s essentially only one pool everyone can use unless you’ve booked one of the exclusive ones, which limits the experience. Room service food was subpar compared to other resorts we’ve stayed at on the island. Some of the restaurants, like the Japanese one, were exceptional—truly top-tier—but others, like El Patio, were lacking in quality. One big issue was the pool chairs. There’s a rule that towels left unattended will be removed, but it’s not enforced. We found the same guests claiming the best spots every morning, leaving their belongings there for hours without showing up. Enforcing this rule would really help others enjoy those prime spots closer to the pool. The buzzers for ordering food or drinks by the pool rarely worked, although the staff, when they did come by, were always friendly and helpful. The YHI Spa is easily a five-star experience—my wife and I both had multiple massages, and each one was fantastic. The rooms are in desperate need of renovation. The bathrooms are dated, with poor water pressure and small, outdated shower heads. It just doesn't feel like a five-star resort in this condition. On a positive note, the gardens are beautifully maintained and a pleasure to walk through. In summary, while there were some high points, especially the spa and some of the restaurants, the resort is currently not at the five-star level it claims to be. I’d recommend waiting until after the renovation to see if it improves.

Mark Howard

Had leaky AC in the room and also very noisy and rattled. However, maintenance guy’s cane and fixed it quickly so thumbs to their service and efficiency. Great room, we had a lagoon pool suite, was great. Food average at the hotel so we ate our after the first night

KC_was Here

Room was nice. Had a swim up suite. Pool water was nice and clean. Rooms were a little noisy from neighbors. Service was excellent everywhere on property. Not much else to say. Location could have been better. We rented bikes and got to see some of the beaches at other nearby resorts. From the sand to the water seemed much better than what Malia offers. If you are coming for the beach it was disappointing. Other complaints include seemingly limited alcohol selections for The Level package we selected. The better name brand alcohol cost more so it wasn't included. Ran out of sake for us at the Japanese restaurant. Didn't have any more mascal at Sorento. Just little things like that added up. Overall liked the hotel, but for the money it could have been better.

Li Lanham

This is far from a 5 star experience. It began with the front desk dismissing our reason for being there. We booked to celebrate my 50th birthday. Because we weren’t there the exact day it didn’t matter! So disappointing, especially as they went out of their way for other guests such as wishing them happy anniversary by writing it on the sand in the hallways. Such a little thing would have gone a long way. There is also a dearth of vegetarian options at all the property restaurants. Forget about being vegan. The staff were nice but the service was incredibly slow. It was just a really disappointing experience and I will never return.

Naomi Anglin

I’ve been to this place twice now, and each visit has been fantastic! The food is always fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. The pools are clean, never too crowded, and provide a relaxing experience. With the all-inclusive package, you really can’t go wrong – it’s great value for the experience. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, which makes the whole stay even better. The surrounding area is safe, and there are plenty of options for massages, laundry services, convenient stores, and coffee shops nearby. Highly recommend!

Teresa Wallace

Great family hotel. Separate family section is great for families and adults only section great for those with no children. Fabulous amenities, lots of restaurants to choose from and THALASSO Bali spa is great. All inclusive is great value and includes so much for the price. Staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help if needed.

holly gray

All inclusive massive resort. Great for kids with the kids club and pool amenities. The staff are the most polite and helpful we have come across in all our travels in Bali. The breakfast has got literally everything !! We came last time in 2017 and I think maybe from memory the restaurant food menus have become a bit more basic, our last visit I remember the food being spectacular whereas this visit more average. Overall caters well for the whole family or just couples and is a very care free 5 star holiday.

Albert van Wyk

Everything was top notch. We enjoyed the resort so much. The staff is excellent. Special shout out to Hamdi, the king of activities. The room was great and neatly kept. The breakfast is nothing short of amazing. And the many many pools and restaurants and quiet spaces and facilities were great. Thanks Grand Mirage.

Jeylan Mustafa

About a 20 minute trip from the airport in a bustling little nook. The Grand Mirage was everything we could have wanted for a 5 night stay. Very family friendly with lots of free activities for kids and adults. There is also an adults only pool on site so you can get some respite from the little ones if needed!! The staff are of course incredibly friendly and very helpful. Drinks and food can be served anywhere on the hotel grounds, so if you are tired of drinking by the pool, or in one of the many bars or restaurants, try drinking on the beach! Such a wonderful experience for our honeymoon, if we are lucky enough to visit Bali again we will definitely be coming back

Irina Besciu

We had a 5*+ stay at Maya Ubud Resort in Bali, the resort is an like an oasis where you can instantly relax and enjoy the experience. We were lucky enough to receive an upgrade to the Heavenly Pool villa with Butler service. We want to thank Sumi, the guest experience manager, who was very welcoming and professional throughout our stay. A special thanks to Aris, our Butler, who helped us with all the information we needed and with the restaurant reservations. Also to Parka from the Mayasari restaurant and all the rest of the staff for their kindness and hospitality! As a hospitality professional myself, I highly recommend the resort and the high hospitality services they provide. Congratulations to all!

Maya Ubud is a dream vacation destination. The resort is incredibly beautiful and there are a variety of activities including the ability to head to Ubud center and experience the culture that Bali has to offer. A special mention to the food at Maya which is delicious, and to the people that work there. They are friendly, so helpful, and they are very welcoming. They are happy to share their culture and recommendations, and they are kind. The scenery at Maya and surrounding is incredible if you want to experience a lush, green jungle. We have more pictures than we can count! Highly recommend and we will be back!

The dining experience was exceptional, with each meal thoughtfully prepared and bursting with exquisite flavors, complemented by impeccable service that made every moment truly special. The enchanting melodies of live music and the captivating grace of the Balinese dance performances added a cultural richness to our experience, creating unforgettable memories. From the warm hospitality to the serene ambiance, every detail contributed to a truly delightful stay. We eagerly look forward to returning to this remarkable retreat

Andreina Green

Absolutely loved our stay. The location, service and facilities are fantastic. We stayed 7 nights in a Nest Suite, room is big and beautiful. Completely relaxed. Loved the happy hour 5 til 7pm with different live music every night. Breakfast was yummy and there's plenty of good shops and restaurants within walking distance. The staff are so friendly and professional. Thank you Maya, we will be back!!

Jamie Stevens

We loved our stay at Maya Sanur! The staff is not only helpful but so kind and over the top helpful. Our 2 yr old loved the kids activities and I loved the daily yoga. The beach is calm and lovely to use. We loved the breakfast, tea time snacks and the happy hour . Can’t wait to come back

Maria Lioni Kusuma

I like the classic natural look and green surroundings. Warm main swimming pool, which is superb! But beach is quite full of plants, make it bot so clear for small children playing.. Breakfast buffet offers quite a lot of varieties. Just a bigger restaurant space might be better, esp in high season..

Lesley O' Hanlon

Superb hotel! Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Location is great close to plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. The drinks at happy hour were amazing. Breakfast there is a buffet and hot menu you can order from. Rooms are gorgeous, lots of bottled water supplied and beds comfy. I would highly rate going to the spa. You will feel totally relaxed after. The only thing I would recommend as an improvement would be a relaxation room for after your spa treatment.

Ali Moqadam

This place is absolutely fantastic! The manager and staff truly excel in providing top-notch service, ensuring that every guest feels well taken care of. The room, food, and overall service are all outstanding. My waitress, Padmini, was exceptional—she was incredibly attentive and her recommendations were perfect. You definitely need to check this place out!
